kinda weird, he played sunday and the rule states unable to play or practice for 6 weeks from date of injury

 

 

• Short-term IR came into effect in 2012. It effectively allows NFL teams to stockpile one player on IR for half the season. That player must, however, have a substantial injury.

In the past, when a player was placed on IR, their season was over. Now, there is one exception. Schwartz is the Giants' exception. He can still return later in the year.

The rules state:

During each season a club will be permitted to return one player from the Reserve/Injured List to its 53-player Active/Inactive List. Such player must have suffered a major football-related injury (defined as an injury that renders the player physically unable to practice or play football for a period of at least six weeks [42 calendar days] from the date that the injury occurred) after reporting to training camp and must have been placed on Reserve/Injured after 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the Tuesday after the final roster reduction. A player who is eligible to return must be noted as "Designated for Return" at the time the player is placed on Reserve.

 

 

 

What are terms of "short term" IR?
